Mark,

They are really nice wheels and not too many of them around. How many miles are on the rims? i would have been all over them if it was a few months ago.

What's your first favorite, out of curiosity.

I second the sport designs. I have both the designs and the classics (for winter) and think that designs look sleek.

I think the killer thing about the Y spokes is when they spin. I'm no hippie nor am I an artsty fartsy guy, but I am a details guy... and no other wheel center design evokes as much emotion/drama as when the Y spokes are spinning around, especially at lower speeds.

You guys need to just have cars roll by and compare and preferably see a BBS LM or Work Brombacher wheel do its thing.

Default GT3 Wheels

GT3 Powder Coated Black was my choice. Additional Info as the fronts are 8.5 wide:

Fronts 996-362-136-05 8.5JX18H2 ET40
Rears 996-362-142-04 11JX18H2 ET63


For track I run 245/40 Front and 295/30 Rear Hoosiers or
235/40 Front 295/30 Rear MPSC

I have put about 10K miles on the rims and tires...Although I am not the original owner of the rims. I traded a guy for some different wheels i had and then added my tires.

18" Carreras. When I ordered my Boxster I paid a lot of money to get them as an option.

I just like the simple 5 spoke design, and they are super easy to clean

Millerarch - I have the same car/same colour and just bought sport classics to put on it. I need to get them refinished so am thinking about a colour change to gunmetal gray or black. Post up pics when you get them installed. Thanks G
